All or most of you reading this blog post here today probably spend 90+% of your time that you have devoted to blogging to doing it here at Active Rain. That is not a bad thing so please don't get me wrong, but there is another way that I find more productive.
As everyone here knows when you comment on blog posts here at active rain the links do not get any credit with the search engines, it is called no following the links. Active Rain does it according to them, to keep the amount of spam down. That is ok, it is very difficult to control spam on a platform as large and diverse as this one.
I have found that a stand alone blog seems to get read a little more by the general public, and to generate more consumer contacts with questions, and relevant contact information, which is why we blog right?
Over the past 6 months I have been devoting much more time to the blogs that I own the platform for. www.conventnews.org and www.nj-realestate-agent.com both of which allow do-follow links back to your websites once you have made 3 relevant comments on the blog. I moderate the comments to make sure that the blogs do not get spammed of course. So anyway if you want to build a few text links to your websites and are willing to make relevant comments stop by and build some links to your sites for the low low price of a few minutes of your time.
Thank you all,
Jim
